GNU Service Directory
|
||
---------------------
|
||
|
||
This is a list of people who have asked to be listed as offering
|
||
support services for GNU software, including GNU Emacs, for a fee
|
||
or in some cases at no charge.
|
||
|
||
The information comes from the people who asked to be listed;
|
||
we do not include any information we know to be false, but we
|
||
cannot check out any of the information; we are transmitting it to
|
||
you as it was given to us and do not promise it is correct.
|
||
Also, this is not an endorsement of the people listed here.
|
||
We have no opinions and usually no information about the abilities of
|
||
any specific person. We provide this list to enable you to contact
|
||
service providers and decide for yourself whether to hire one.
|
||
|
||
Before FSF will list your name in the GNU Service Directory, we ask
|
||
that you agree informally to the following terms:
|
||
|
||
1. You will not restrict (except by copyleft) the use or distribution
|
||
of any software, documentation, or other information you supply anyone
|
||
in the course of modifying, extending, or supporting GNU software.
|
||
This includes any information specifically designed to ameliorate the
|
||
use of GNU software.
|
||
|
||
2. You will not take advantage of contact made through the Service
|
||
Directory to advertise an unrelated business (e.g., sales of
|
||
non-GNU-related proprietary information). You may spontaneously
|
||
mention your availability for general consulting, but you should not
|
||
promote a specific unrelated business unless the client asks.
|
||
|
||
Please include some indication of your rates, because otherwise users
|
||
have nothing to go by. Please put each e-mail address inside "<>".
|
||
Please put nothing else inside "<>". Thanks!
|
||
|
||
For a current copy of this directory, or to have yourself listed, ask:
|
||
gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu
|
||
|
||
** Please keep the entries in this file alphabetical **

|
||
Primarly I work on GNU software for VMS, both VAX and AXP. I
|
||
also work on GNU stuff for Unix on occasion. I'm familiar with
|
||
SunOS (version 4.x.x), BSD (version 4.2 and up),
|
||
Ultrix (version 4.2 and up).
|
||
I've been porting GNU Emacs to VMS since spring 1991. This
|
||
includes versions 18.57 to 18.59 and version 19.22.
|
||
I maintain GNU vmslib.
|
||
|
||
Programs supported:
|
||
GNU vmslib: extending, installation, upgrading aid,
|
||
simple and complex questions, you name it.
|
||
GNU Emacs: porting, extending, installation, upgrading aid,
|
||
customization, simple or complex questions,
|
||
training, you name it.
|
||
GNU autoconf: porting, extending, installation, upgrading aid.
|
||
GNU zip, diffutils, m4, patch, texinfo:
|
||
porting, installation, upgrading aid.
|
||
GNU C/C++: installation, upgrading aid. I might start to
|
||
hack at it some day.
|
||
|
||
The list of programs I currently support represents both my interests and
|
||
current priorities. Your interest and funding can influence my priorities.
|
||
|
||
Experience:
|
||
Fluent in C, C++, Emacs Lisp, Pascal as well as assembler
|
||
on VAX, Motorola 680x0, Intel 8086 and 80x86. Modified key
|
||
elements in Emacs (e.g., memory and process management) to work
|
||
transparently on VMS. I have very good knowledge in the VMS
|
||
operating system, as well as MS-DOS and IBM PC compatibles.
|
||
I have worked for four and a half years as a VMS system manager.
|
||
I've also provided consulting services on IBM PC compatibles,
|
||
as well as held classes for IBM PC users.
|
||
A reference list is available on request.
|
||
|
||
Your Rate:
|
||
$50-$80/hour (400-700 SEK in sweden), plus expenses. My rates
|
||
are negotiable, depending on how interesting the project is to me.

Experience:
|
||
I have B.A. and M.A. degrees in Computer Science and have completed
|
||
all but the dissertation for a Ph.D. in C.S. My research for my
|
||
Ph.D. is in the areas of logic, type systems, and programming
|
||
language theory. My primary programming languages are Emacs Lisp,
|
||
Perl, and Bourne shell, but of course I can program in any language.
|
||
I have written numerous Emacs Lisp packages. I started the USENET
|
||
"List of Frequently Asked Questions about GNU Emacs with Answers" and
|
||
maintained it for more than two years. Most of my work has been
|
||
related to the telephone system (modems, voice mail, etc.), but I am
|
||
not limited to that. Send e-mail for my complete resume or curriculum
|
||

|

|
||
Programs supported:
|
||
GNU Emacs and Taylor UUCP:
|
||
Installation, training, customization, bug fixing, troubleshooting,
|
||
extension, development, porting, or answering any kind of question.
|
||
Any other GNU program:
|
||
The same things, but I don't necessarily have huge amounts of
|
||
experience with the particular program.
|
||
|
||
Working conditions:
|
||
I am usually available for part-time work (less than 20 hours per week
|
||
including any travel time). I can sometimes make time for full-time
|
||
work for a month or two; please inquire. I can either work in or near
|
||
Boston or via the Internet or via telephone; travel outside the Boston
|
||
metropolitan area can be negotiated. My schedule is very flexible.
|
||
Any programs I write will normally have the copying conditions of the
|
||
GNU General Public License; this is negotiable.
|
||
|
||
Rates: $65/hour as an independent contractor.
|
||
travel and telephone expenses.
|
||
higher rates if extensive travel is required.

|

I'm a better "planner" than I am a hacker. A really good hacker will be able
|
||
to keep many pieces of information in their short-term memory and to memorize
|
||
new pieces of information at a fast rate. This is not my strong point.
|
||
Rather, I excel in domains that require knowledge of the slightly more
|
||
theoretical parts of computer science --for example, logic, formal methods of
|
||
program development, and functional programming. I can write, and I have
|
||
"tutoring" (teaching one-on-one) experience, an, unlike some programmers,
|
||
I enjoy doing these things.
|
||
|
||
I have spend a lot of time looking at the Emacs Lisp sources and customizing
|
||
Emacs and VM. I think I can customize Emacs and its packages quickly and
|
||
effectively.
